exp valve is under the pass. side of the dash. its a decent size, basically the only thing down there, attached in-line to one of the lines leaving the air handler box. Its installed with fittings, but the nuts are a decent size (~1").
I recall getting one from discount for like 50 bucks way back when.
side note: its almost impossible for these things to fail, especially failing shut. the only way i could see it happening was if the system was open-air for a long time. you should be able to rap on the thing with something to unstick it.

I while ago I took my rocco in to an A/C shop because it was not cold. He said there was a blockage in the system and was most likely the Expansion Valve. I want to get the A/C running again so I want to fix it and do the refigerent conversion at the same time. Does anyone know where the expansion valve is let me know because Bentely was not helpfull. Thanks Oh and also is it just a plug and play type thing or do I need a torch to change it.
